Help Autumn Get to the National Archives in MO

Donation protected

Hi everyone!


My name is Autumn Hendrickson and I am from a small town in Massachusetts called Reading. Since last summer, I've been working on a book about the men and women from my hometown that served in World War II. It is my hope that next summer, I can finally make the trek out to the National Archives in St. Louis, Missouri, where personnel files, hospital admission cards, and company morning reports are held. Failing that, I hope to be able to hire a researcher to help me obtain the documents I need! Having access to these resources is of vital importance for two reasons:


1. Without them, there are many stories that I won't be able to tell.

2. With them, I can more accurately portray a servicemember's time in the military.


The cost of a hotel for at least one and a half weeks, transportation (which will be an issue since I am under 21 and thus, cannot rent a car), food and drink, and the cost of copying records, etc. will likely add up very quickly. (That's not even including airfare.)


Any help that you can give me is very much appreciated, and should you choose to leave your name with your donation, you will get your name in the acknowledgement section of my book.
